Abstract In this paper, we study a three-point boundary value problem with an integral two-space-variables condition for a class of parabolic equations. The existence and uniqueness of the solution in the functional weighted Sobolev space are proved. The proof is based on two-sided a priori estimates and on the density of the range of the operator generated by the problem considered. c 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The importance of boundary value problems with integral boundary conditions has been pointed out by Samarskii [1]. We remark that integral boundary conditions for evolution problems have various applications in chemical engineering, thermoelasticity, underground water flow and population dynamics; see for example [2–5]. Boundary value problems for parabolic equations with an integral boundary condition are investigated by Batten Jr. [6], Bouziani and Benouar [7], Cannon [8,9], Cannon, Perez Esteva and Van Der Hoeck [10], Ionkin [11], Kamynin [12], Shi and Shillor [13], Shi [4], Marhoune and Bouzit [14], Denche and Marhoune [15–17], Yurchuk [18], and many references therein. The problem with an integral one-space-variable condition is studied in Kartynnik [19], Denche and Marhoune [20]. The present paper is devoted to the study of a problem with a boundary integral two-space-variables condition for a second-order partial differential equation. We associate with problem (1)–(4) the operator L = (L, l), defined from E into F, where E is the Banach space of functions u ∈ L 2 (Ω ), satisfying (3) and (4), with the finite norm " 2 2 # Z 1 Z 2 ∂ u θ (x) ∂u 2 ∂u θ (x) 2 dx kuk E = ∂t + ∂ x 2 dxdt + sup 2 ∂x Ω 2 0≤t≤T 0 Z α Z 1 + sup |u|2 dx + sup |u|2 dx (5) 0≤t≤T

Using the energy inequalities method proposed in [18], we establish two-sided a priori estimates. Then, we prove that the operator L is a linear homeomorphism between the spaces E and F. 2. Two-sided a priori estimates Theorem 1. For any function u ∈ E we have the a priori estimate kLuk F ≤ ckuk E , where the constant c is independent of u.

with the constant c satisfying (13), obtained by multiplying Eq. (1) by exp(−ct)Mu, by integrating over Ω τ , where Ω τ = (0, 1)×(0, τ ), with 0 ≤ τ ≤ T , and by taking the real part.

As the left-hand side of (25) is independent of τ , by replacing the right-hand side by its upper bound with respect to τ in the interval [0, T ], we obtain the desired inequality. 3. Solvability of the problem From estimates (7) and (12) it follows that the operator L : E −→ F is continuous and its range is closed in F. Therefore, the inverse operator L −1 exists and is continuous from the closed subspace R (L) onto E, which means that L is a homeomorphism from E onto R (L). To obtain the uniqueness of the solution, it remains to show that R (L) = F. The proof is based on the following lemma. Lemma 5. Let D0 (L) = {u ∈ E : lu = 0}. If for u ∈ D0 (L) and some ω ∈ L 2 (Ω ), we have Z φ(x)Lu$ dxdt = 0, Ω
where x φ(x) = (1 − β) (1 − x) then ω = 0.
